Description

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this exceptional Lotus Eleven Westfield. This example is Westfield XI chassis number 49, anufactured in 1984 but assembled just five years and 200 miles ago. Every drivetrain component is either new or rebuilt -- the car is, or all intents and purposes, brand new. The fiberglass bodywork is a very faithful reproduction of the Sir Colin Chapman's original design, ut Westfield's tubular spaceframe chassis and proprietary suspension represent an improvement over the Lotus. The car is running an MG 1275 cc engine with twin SUs, ored to around 1331 cc and fully rebuilt to performance spec. Rebuilt four-speed gearbox, ew clutch, .56 MG rear end. Midget uprights, pindles and modified steering rack. Fresh alignment and oil service. Assembly manual and build sheets for the wiring and cooling systems included. Clad in a neutral medium grey (with excellent fiberglass and paint), he car is a blank slate -- it would look stunning in the race livery of your choice. New wire wheels with period Vredstein sprint classics. Lady Godiva steering wheel center was machined out of a Coventry Climax valve cover. A new Westfield kit is around $20k without drivetrain and wheels -- you certainly couldn't buy a new kit and complete it for anything close to the asking price. Coming in at under 1,000 lbs, t is quite spirited to drive. Currently registered in Georgia as a 1956 Lotus. For more information about this Lotus Eleven / Westfield XI available at Motorcar Studio in Atlanta, lease call 404-692-5250.
